High on the moors above Yorkshire sits Gaddings Dam, England's highest beach, and a community that gathers there to swim in its cold, clean water through every season. Wild Water is an intimate portrait of those swimmers and the restorative power they find in cold water and wild landscape, using it to reconnect with their mental health, their sense of identity, nature, and one another.

Why This Film Matters: As more people turn to cold water and the outdoors to steady their minds, Wild Water puts a human face on that movement, showing how a simple, bracing ritual can rebuild wellbeing and belonging. It is a quiet, hopeful film about the ways nature and community can hold us up when we need it most.
